Garlands and Pom Poms in Kid’s Rooms

Christina Ebbers — Fri, 24 May 2013 15:56:42 +0000

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Neutral walls are such a good backdrop, especially if you want to have freely colorful decor as is almost always the case in children’s rooms. This space is playful, cozy, bright, and creative. The first photo had flag bunting, this one has a pom pom garland, […]

Big Glass Showers

Christina Ebbers — Thu, 23 May 2013 16:35:25 +0000

I love a big shower. I’ve taken like two baths in my whole life, so I really could care less if my bathroom has a tub (though I see the value of having at least one in the house if there’s going to be young children). The above shower is heavenly to me. Black and […]

Grand Greenery

Christina Ebbers — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:40:05 +0000

It’s been a rainy few days here in West Michigan. Monday we had the freakiest thunderstorm complete with a pummeling of hail that startled the crap out of me as I drove slowly down the highway. Weather in general has been a bit of a bitch this week, what with that awful tornado in Oklahoma. […]

Eclectic Living Rooms

Christina Ebbers — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:15:14 +0000

High-end simplicity. I require arms on my sofas but I do like the way this looks. I love how this space has a only a few key elements that together create a luxurious and intentional feel. Each piece feels like it was chosen very carefully. Simple stacks of books, limited accessorizing, a candelabra and table […]

Gorgeous Gray In The Bedroom

Christina Ebbers — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:53:37 +0000

Gray is probably the trendiest neutral right now. And with good reason. Gray is a very malleable color. It can be dark, light, warm, or cool. It can have blue undertones or yellow undertones, etc. It can lean towards taupe or be practically white. Gray gives us so many options and blends beautifully with accent colors. Do […]

Creating A Mood With Color

Christina Ebbers — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:58:45 +0000

Color is probably the most powerful element of design for creating a mood. Emotional reactions to color are relative, but there are definitely recurring themes. Most find blues and greens calming, while reds are energizing. The shade and intensity of the color matters a lot too. A very bold, dark red may seem overbearing while […]

Loving Bold Color

Christina Ebbers — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:10:04 +0000

For a couple weeks now my posts have largely consisted of neutral color palettes. Enough of that! Thank goodness for these rooms and their bold use of color. Above we have the ever magnificent Abigail Ahern with her signature dark walls and playful accessories. She is the queen of playing with scale as you see […]
